Information
Obtain RFA license and
authentication files for each
ESS server and the Main
server.
A different serial number of
a reference IPSI is needed
for each license file.
Check the Minimum
Firmware/Hardware
Vintage document for the
correct IPSI firmware
needed in an ESS

have the correct firmware,
upgrade the firmware
before continuing.
If this system has
duplicated IPSIs make sure
the firmware on the
duplicated IPSI pair is
common.
